Chapter 1018 Chapter 249. Rescue the Holy Grail Knights' Squires
"To be honest, I'm a little nervous."

Annan walked around the desk, sat in the presiding judge's seat, and looked out the window at the howling cold wind.

"What are you nervous about?" Olmedo asked.

"You don't know what the judge said... He almost described your uncle as the mastermind, the devil, the wisest man in the kingdom, and the man behind the king."

"I can't remember clearly. The last time I saw him was when I was ten years old." "But do you remember Asimov's Fall?"

Annan stood up and said, "You mean it has something to do with your uncle?"

"He is the think tank of the kingdom. He is the only way to capture and execute the director of the kingdom's great library."

"Got it. I will keep my distance from him."

Fortunately, the congressman was a loner without many friends, and Annan was not in a high position, so he would not attract attention if he kept his distance.

"By the way, Agarwal has also come to the new capital."

Olmedo fell silent.

Annan sighed, "Although I hate to admit it, I hate that bastard more than the king."

Although the king colluded with the rat people, betrayed the Holy Grail Knights, caused tens of millions of people to be displaced, and caused the fall of the Snow Mountain Fortress... but Agarwal abandoned Breeze City!
Annan watched with his own eyes as the tower spirits who had lost their masters perished together with the waves of rats that flooded into Breeze City. Three hundred thousand people from Breeze City were forced to leave their homes, and their cries still linger in his ears.

"Then let's get rid of him at the last minute."

With the help of the Skeleton King Leonefa and the Warlock Protection Association, it is not impossible for Annan to catch them all in one fell swoop.

He allowed the Free Blade to sweep across the kingdom, and he stayed in the new capital waiting for this very reason - to drive out the nobles hiding in various places and sucking the blood of the people, and make them all gather in the new capital.

These days, there has been an endless stream of convoys of nobles fleeing from other places, bringing news that has frightened the new capital and delighted Annan: perhaps there is no need to wait until the end of this cold winter, as the Free Blade, which is growing like a snowball, will be able to reach the new capital by the end of December in the 1001st year of the Saint Laurent calendar.

It was the Red Witch on the west coast who lagged behind. They did not land, but slowly distributed leaflets along the coast - that was the original plan, but who knew that the nobles had no desire to resist. When they encountered the Free Blades, they either fled or surrendered. The few who resisted to the end were then surrounded by the Free Blades and annihilated by the main army that mixed in with the team.

After closing the portal, Annan walked out of the study.

The president was sighing at the window at the end of the corridor. He began to realize the danger of joining the Free Blade... but it was too late to regret.

"Mr. President." Annan walked over and asked the president who turned around quickly, "How much do you know about the president of the parliament?"

"The smartest in the kingdom, the most powerful, the most unfathomable..."

What the judge said was similar to what Annan had imagined, but there was one thing...

"All matters of the kingdom, big or small, must be handled by the head of the parliament."

"You mean, most of the kingdom's political decrees are issued through the Speaker of Parliament?" Annan caught something.

"Well, the king has always been very sleepy and is awake for less than eight hours a day. Government affairs are all handled by the president of the parliament and then issued by the king..."

Could it be that Irwin Augusta was the culprit?
Annan had to think about it, because Olmedo's father was corrupted by the ratmen. Could it be that Irwin was also corrupted like old Augusta...?
The Augusta family is truly full of loyal warriors...

Without considering this kind of thing without evidence for the time being, Annan returned the study to the presiding judge and took Maria to his loyal dungeon.

The dungeons of the Purification Court hold Freeblades, Freeblade members, and prisoners suspected of being Freeblades captured by the Inquisitors from all over the place.

Annan asked the dungeon guard to bring the prisoner's information, and walked to the first cell while looking at the evidence listed on it. "Are you Free Blade?"

The prisoner in the cell raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I am not..."

Annan paused for a moment at the entry about him that said "arson and killing seven members of a family." "No, you are." He walked towards the second cell.

The same conversation, the man covered in bruises raised his head and grinned: "Bah... bastard, kill me!"

His profile says he “incited his neighbors to fight for their rights”: “You are not the Blade of Freedom.”

Annan walked towards the third cell: "Are you the Free Blade?"

The man with whip marks all over his face rushed to the iron bars and begged, "I am willing to do things for you. I know where the others are. I can take you to find them—"

Annan paused for a long time with regret while "leading the Free Blade to break into the merchant's house and distribute food and property to the civilians", and shook his head: "You are the Free Blade."

Many of those captured were Free Blades, but not only Free Blades.

After all, the soldiers of the Purification Court also have selfish desires, and what more effective means of revenge could be found than accusing their enemies of being the Free Blade?
Of the thirty or so prisoners held in the dungeon, two-thirds were Free Blades, and one-third of them expressed their willingness to surrender because of torture.

Their existence gave Annan a headache. After all, if he put himself in their shoes, those hideous wounds made Annan not confident that he could die without speaking.

It was Maria who suggested that since they had both merits and faults, they should be sent back to Liberty City to be punished.

Annan accepted Maria's suggestion and gathered them together with the refusing to speak Free Blade and sent them back to Liberty City.

Arriving at the deepest part of the dungeon, there were serious criminals imprisoned: they were not the big names in Freeblade, but because they had committed a serious enough crime - assassinating the king.

Several young followers of the Holy Grail Knights were tortured and hung on the rack until Annan appeared and released them.

"Don't bother yourself with that, you traitor's dog..." The knight's squire, who had the best physique and the strength to speak, sneered.

"What you said is too harsh..." Annan frowned, then relaxed: "But you are not talking about me, you can curse even harder."

The knight's squire looked at Annan and asked, "Are you coming to kill us?"

"I just came to ask..."

Annan shook his head and took out the badge of the Holy Grail Knight Squire from his magic ring and waved it in front of them: "How many challenge points can I get for killing the king?"

"You are……"

The knight's squire stared at Annan with bloodshot eyes: "Who did you kill! Koro, or Fenmire!?"

"You misunderstood. I am a glorious candidate for the Holy Grail Knight just like you." Annan put the badge on his chest.

"I haven't seen you."

"Because I just became a Holy Grail Knight Squire not long ago, under the witness of Knight De La Torre and Knight Naven."

"Are you Annan...?"
